UniAE-MoE: A Unified Audio Encoder via Mixture of Experts

Large Audio Language Models (LALMs) rely on effective audio encoders for multi-task performance. We introduce UniAE-MoE, a unified audio encoder designed to model cross-domain audio representations and achieve outstanding downstream understanding performance via a Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture. Specifically, we explore mainstream audio encoders and integrate those from Qwen2-Audio and…

VRAM for local LLMs: why memory bandwidth sets your tokens per second

How much VRAM for an LLM is the wrong first question. The better one is how fast that VRAM is, because a local model generating text reads its entire set of weights from memory for every single token.

  • Memory bandwidth, not VRAM size, determines LLM speed
  • Token generation requires reading all model weights from memory
  • RTX 3090's 936 GB/s bandwidth generates ~90 tokens/second
